It’s been such a busy day
Friday, 25-11-2005Today is a very busy day for me. My mobile phone has been ringing non-stop since morning. I had to re-charge the battery twice in the afternoon.
Many journalists called and asked for the MMS visual but I was reluctant to give to them as I do not think it’s wise to court unnecessary trouble and give the authorities an excuse to take action against me. I’m not that blonde, you know? 
I was unable to answer many of the calls as I was rushing to write my request to the Speaker to ask for an emergency motion in Parliament next Monday. Many people are very happy to see the misconduct of police being exposed.
After I have finished writing the emergency motion request letter, I went with our DAP leaders’ delegation to present memorandum to IGP at the entrance of Bukit Aman. The entrance of Bukit Aman was packed with reporters. The delegation was led by Secretary General Lim Guan Eng. The decision to present the memo and press conference was made last night when some journalists asked us what our next move was. Guan Eng then came out with the idea of presenting memo to Bukit Aman.
After press conference, I presented the emergency motion request letter to Parliament speaker Tan Sri Ramli Ngah. He saw me and he said he is not sure whether the emergency motion will be allowed for debate but even if I have chance to read out the motion, it will be on Tuesday morning as I was late. It requires 48 hours notice according to the standing order of Parliament.
After lunch with my colleagues, I rushed back to write my weekly Sunday column for Sin Chew. My mobile phone in on silent mode and I don’t take any calls from strangers as I don’t want to be distracted while I labour to finish my column and blog.
My piece for Sin Chew is—
警局拘留所《春光乍瀉》
郭素沁
繼數位中國女郎被警方無理拘留數天的案件被媒體大肆報導後，有關的案件還未了結，坊間手機上流傳好些時日的女郎在女警面前拉蹲的錄影畫面(MMS)，又獲得媒體的垂注，而成為轟動新聞。
在中國女郎被警方無理拘留的事件公佈後，我便接獲公眾的電話，告知我有關手機錄影畫面。這錄影畫面，恰好證實較早前該數名勇敢投報的中國女郎對警方的指控，即女警官勒令她們脫得一絲不掛的拉蹲。此外，更加強該錄影畫面真實性的是，該畫面傳出回教堂的祈禱聲。裸體女郎的背著鏡頭，在戴著回教徒頭巾的女警前拉蹲，再加上旁邊傳來的陣陣祈禱聲，好不諷刺。
報載八打靈副警區主任向媒體承認鏡頭裏的有關女警是該警局裏的官員，而八打靈警區主任則表示他很煩，而拒絕評論，心裏覺得好可笑。記得之前當該數名中國女郎在開齋節期間被無理囚禁時，我曾親身到警察局區瞭解情況。我曾向該警察局辦公的警員要警區主任的手機號碼，但是他們都拒絕給我，說警區主任正度假。直到中國女郎無理被囚禁的案件被媒體大肆報導後，當我致電警局時要聯絡警區主任時，那些員警便馬上給我他的手機號碼了。
事實上，所有看過該70秒鐘錄影畫面的人，都對警察局裏的做法感到驚訝和氣憤。當我把該警局的錄影畫面播放給國陣後座議員看時，他們無不感到憤怒的。一個巫統的議員建議國會針對此事進行緊急動議辯論，另一個則建議在我們下星期辯論國安部財政預算案辯論時，把有關的影帶通過國會的閉路電視播放給全體議員觀看，讓議員們親眼看到警察局裏的濫權行為。
繼中國和國內媒體針對數位中國女郎的投訴大肆報導後，政府又放出系列資料指國內有5萬名中國遊客失蹤，而警方則在大城小鎮的風月場所進行掃蕩，大肆逮捕“小龍女“，令人覺得警方是在向干預此案的政治人物進行報復。政府的資料和警方的做法，實際上更加損害馬中關係，使遊客更加怯步。
欣聞國內事務部長阿茲米卡立欲在本月30日遠赴中國解釋事情的真相，以吸引中國遊客旅馬。問題是，4名指警方無理囚禁她們的中國女郎在11月13日報案至今，警方尚未針對此案提出任何調查報告，也未懲罰任何警員，反而還派員三更半夜上門登訪她們，以調查她們是否和丈夫在一塊兒。只要警方一天沒公佈此案的調查結果，阿茲米卡立的中國行則肯定會很尷尬和敗興而歸，因為他將無法向中國政府和人民針對該案作出交代。
警方在處理中國女郎無理被囚禁的案件上，其實充滿了敗筆和不夠
Hi YB Kok,
Way to go, the PDRM or rather more like the PRDM, should be put in its place. They have don’t more than enough dehumanising acts against citizens and others.
The rot truly set in after the Anwar debacle, we as a nation appeared to have sold ourselves to the ‘devil’ in not trying to curb all the anti-human rights nonsense perpetrate during that period. Instead of having them stopped by acting, the majority chosed to remain silent, thus appearing to have condone those despicable acts. Those in authorities were returned with an even bigger majority. Indirectly we appeared to be saying “Please to carry on”. As a nation we have since then not been able to lift our heads high.
They say that the rot always starts at the head, till today almost all of those who could have put a stop to the rot by speaking out are still up in charge.
Oh, when will we have sufficient ladies and gentlemen ready to stand and be accounted. You YB, are among one of those few.
Never knew you could joke, i am ‘blondie’ at times, but just this once, i am not taking offence.

It is my hope that the emergency motion will be allowed on Monday. The motion is both of public interest and urgent. By the way, with due respect to the Parliament Standing Order, why not in certain circumstance the time for notice cannot be changed to 24 hours. This certain circumstances should be the prerogative of the Speaker. It seems the standing order was tying both the MPs’ and Speaker’s hand as far as an emergency motion is concerned.
It is the time to introduction some flexibility in the standing order. I hope in the future, when an issue crop up at the eleventh hour, this standing order will not be the stumbling block to debate the issue that is both public interest and urgent. At the end of the day, MPs and Parliament are there to serve the public. Therefore, public importance should be the top priority in amending the Parliament Standing Order. We have to move on to better changes for the member of public.

I just hope all you DAP MPs will thump the table in Partliament at the next seating demanding that Parliament be dissolved and call for a fresh election. After all, the BN fellas are doing just that for the coming by-election in Kelantan, why not here? Things are getting messier by the day and goodness sake, where is the Prime Minister? I do not know whether it would be a good idea to send Azmi to China for all you know he might just be “goreng”ed by the officials there and come back “well-done” like a steak. The police are nothing more than thugs in uniform and we have to expect this because of our educational system which has gone to the drains. Now you have these bunch of people with dinosaur-sized brains walking around thinking that they are now all mighty once they dorn on the uniform, just like Superman.
By the way, I like the part in your blog about being “blonde”. It kinda add a little humour to the blog. Keep up the good work and keep them coming.
